I am 50 and I had a complete hystorectomy 5 yrs ago for heavy periods. I take no hormones,I am slowly gaining weight,and sex is not comfortable . Is there something that I need vitimans or herbs that will help.
The symptoms you are experiencing are a common occurrence with aging. Most women find they must eat less and exercise more to stay the same weight. Use of a lubricant with intercourse is helpful after menopause. Many women use a vaginal moisturizer like Replens or Silk-E once or twice a week. It is also important to have intercourse on a regular basis after menopause to "stay in shape". If these measures are not sufficient to restore comfortable intercourse, talk with your clinician about the option of low dose vaginal estrogen.
